My husband was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Melanoma 12 months ago stage 3,now he has been diagnosed with secondary brain cancer. The disease is extremely aggressive and has spread throughout all areas of his brain.We’ve been advised that his life expectancy is between 8 to 12 weeks. Over the past 10 days, Joe has lost the ability to walk unassisted and is now reliant on a wheelchair. His hand coordination is deteriorating, and I fear feeding himself will soon become difficult.He completed four courses of immunotherapy, and while we’ve been told there is no cancer in the body, the remaining disease is confined to the brain.His sleep is now very broken, with nightly waking every hour or so due to needing the bathroom. As his full-time caregiver, I’m hoping to understand what medical, practical, or emotional support may be available—to help ensure my husbands comfort and preserve his dignity through this stage, and to support me in managing these demands.Any advice or resources would be deeply appreciated.
